Norwegian photographer, Trond Are Berge, creates his artistic photos by superimposing shots so that they blend and mould into an interiorized unity: our gaze is led to contemplate nature under an infinite sky, which envelops us in a silent cloak. The photographer presents us with frozen landscapes thanks to the northern winds or to hot landscapes, scalding like flowing lava: impressions of a free and pure nature without borders, where symbolic elements are inserted. He doesn’t use Photoshop and its virtual ‘layers’; for example faces of women, are impressed in the wood of a tree trunk from those great Norwegian forests, that then precipitate into the blue waters of the fjords or burning flames with stones suspended in the air overlooking a sea at sunset. These are the artist’s visionary and concrete creations of an introspective search for the true freedom found in nature’s primordial and invincible majesty.
